I enjoy solo games on this site quite a bit and have had better luck with them than with group games, so I'd like to play in some more solo games!

I like most of the White Wolf games, except old Werewolf because it's hard to read. Likewise, I think the Onyx Path updates of White Wolf games are pretty great. Ars Magica is my favorite RPG, but that's probably just because I've never gotten to actually play it. In any case, I'd like to give it a shot!

Level-based games aren't usually my thing, but we might be able to work something out.

I'm fine with most systems, really, and freeform is also fine, but the main thing is that I want to play a powerful character in the upper echelons of their type, whether socially influential or not.

If this sounds like something you might want to help me with, please drop me an rMail. I'll check here, but I'll also probably forget!

Thanks in advance.

Note quite a solo game but I'm trying to keep the player base very small. 2 or 3 at most. nWod Mage, survival game. I've done away with the mage society they present in the book, though. No factions and orders.

would you consider being in a game where there was a group but you didn't need to be a part of that group? but it was not impossible for you to meet each other etc

I've had a few hits, but nothing has actually gotten started yet, so I'm still looking for people to play with.

To reiterate my request, I'd like to play a character in a solo game who's in the top tier of their grouping, but otherwise, most games are fine with me. The games I like best are Ars Magica, Mage, and Vampire, but, again, just about any game is okay. Freeform, too.

My character doesn't necessarily have to be socially important, at least not in the beginning, since "the literature" is full of examples of characters who have great power by luck or inheritance.

That said, I like "strategic-layer play" quite a bit, so if that's something you're into, then that's also great. For example, an archmage has to locate and train suitable apprentices and familiars while also managing their magical resources, a monarch has to hold court; command armies; and try to be a just ruler, and a deity has to appoint heroes, decide where and when to answer prayers, and acquire more followers.

I often forget to check this thread, so please rMail me if this sort of thing sounds like your cup of [BEVERAGE OF CHOICE]!

I've had several bites, but nothing is up and running yet, so I'd like to give this thread a bump and see if anyone else is interested!

I've had a few hits, but most of them have gassed out. So let's go again! Surrender is for the weak! *waves sword around recklessly*

Err... I think that among the NWOD games, Mummy the Curse must be the most suitable for a solo roleplay!

Why's that? It seems to me that the only one that wouldn't work so well would be Werewolf, since it's explicitly group-based.

Maybe you misunderstood me? Mummy the Curse is perfect for a solo game.
Usually an Arisen is awakened by it's own cult when they need for their master's help, and since each cult have it's own goals, the Arisens have a very little reason to gang together.

I was interested in running a Mage 2nd edition for a solo. The idea I have in mind would be very Dresden files meets Cthulhu in scope. The level of the power of the player is open as I would just scale up the menace.

My game would involve more investigation rather then "Smack the bad guy in the face"

If you are interested please Rmail me. We can chat and work out whatever.

I was just asking why. I've never played Mummy. It sounds fine though!

I would like to try Mummy the Curse too. It would be great to find a GM for it.
